The Epistemology of Belief: Intentionality, Suggestibility and Delusions

By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. First introduced into English by Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier, Epistemology is the theory of knowledge in the branch of philosophy. Focused on the nature and scope of knowledge, including limitations, epistemology strives to answers questions about the meaning, acquisition, and measurement of knowledge. Epistemology also analyzes the nature of knowledge as it relates to truth, belief, and justification, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims. This book focuses on the epistemology of belief, the concepts of intentionality and suggestibility, how beliefs are formed, and the philosophy of mind.
